Actress Sayli Salunkhe, who plays the role of Vandana in Baatein Kuch Ankahee Si, says that she loves the feedback she is getting for the show. The actress says that she was quite apprehensive initially.
“At first, I was scared whether people would be able to connect or not. But I am receiving some great responses. The best thing that people tell me is that they could relate to Vandana. If I am playing Vandana and people can relate to it and her journey and her responsibilities at the age of 35 being married, the pressure of the society is what people could relate to. I am really happy that people are loving my work. At first it was very difficult to catch this character as Vandana is a 35-year-old girl. Vandana has suffered a lot after her mother passed away, and she has taken over all the responsibilities. When I started playing Vandana, I could relate to her emotions. Whatever Vandana and Sayli think, their emotions are very similar,” she says.
Talking about cutting off from her character once she is out of the set, she says, “It’s difficult to cut off. If you are playing that character for 15 hours then it’s difficult to cut off. Even if I take my character home then I don’t have any problem as Vandana is a very sweet and innocent girl and I think that Sayali has been able to control her anger because of Vandana. Vandana’s character has had a positive impact in my life and I have always tried to learn from my character. I feel good to learn from her and live her.”
She adds, “We are shooting for 15 hours and we don’t have enough time to do something else. Whenever I get time, I try to get to know my co-actors. I love playing rubic cube and I have made a great family and I don’t need some other time pass.”
